Hi all,

I have been looking for an explanation of why Erfurt and DWM seem to have changed from manufacturing Lugers with the long sear to short sear.

I believe, based upon my own Lugers, those made before 1914 have the long sear, those after 1914 the short. While some 1914s have the long and others the short. I guess this transition took place gradually in 1914.
